Neuroimaging study reveals how human brain complexity and cognitive flexibility develops during early infancy.
A new study reports that it's not just adults who resort to habits when under stress, infants do too. Additionally, less cognitive flexibility children have due to stress could impact their acquisition of knowledge.
Researchers have identified a region of the thalamus that helps us switch between appropriate behavior required for different contexts.
Researchers explore how early extreme childhood stress can have a negative impact on social learning and mental health later in life.
A new study looks at the mechanisms behind cognitive flexibility.
Fast-paced, real time strategy video games can help train the brain to become more agile and improve strategic thinking, a new study finds.
People with a variation of the DRD2 gene are more resilient to the effects of sleep deprivation when completing tasks that require cognitive flexibility, a new study reports.
A new study proposes a model that underlies the neural mechanisms of cognitive flexibility.
A new study suggests a lack of cognitive flexibility and ability to retain new information may be a result of the Arc protein not being fully switched off.
A new study reports our cognitive flexibility in judging those who wrong us may shed light on both the human tendency to forgive, and explain why people hold on to those who continue to wrong them.
Musical improvisation improves cognitive flexibility and increases inhibitory control.
A group of neurons located in the basal ganglia appears to play a vital role in cognitive flexibility.
